Hmmm... I didn't know there was a strawberry mask in this range @heartsmyface; will have to look for it next time I'm in the store. @
Hmmmm yeah I see the fragrance listed last @heartsmyface. I suppose natural strawberry isn't strong enough to leave an impression? A couple others here have tried Secret Nature masks and they were less than A's.
@heartsmyface This mask sounds pretty good! The artificial scent isn't ideal, but everything else seems great! Looks like there's a whole fruit salad in those ingredients! 👍
🍓🍊🍇🍌🍐🍎
@heartsmyface always disappointing when it's more artificial than natural but a strawberry mask sounds great!
Hi my dear masking friends, last week I didn’t post anything in the BIC because I felt depressed, slept about 18 hours a day and also had a fever. Sunday evening I went to do my groceries and it was F-ing snowing again! On my way there I was thinking about Alaska and the high temperatures ( 70F ) they had last week ( of all places ! ), I parked my car in the grocery parking lot and I cried for about 10 minutes before going into the store! That’s how much I can’t stand this winter 🥶! Sorry I had to vent a little!
This being said, I miss you guys ( gals ) and I did some masking last week! I tried the Lohas Milky Glow sheet mask that @itsfi sent me ( Thanks Fi! ) and I give it an A+ grade. Another day I used the Mizon Enjoy Vital-Up Time Watery Moisture Hydrate Your Dry Skin Containing Fresh Green Tea sheet mask that @itsfi also sent me ( Thanks again Fi 🥰 ) which was another A+ mask, perfect for my dry skin. Yesterday I used the Consonant DHE clay mask that I received as a gratis which left my skin soft, hydrated and detoxified. Another A+ mask!
Sorry about the ingredients list mix up !
@keana1 I’m so sorry. I hope you start to feel better. I can’t belive it snowed again. Cold weather and no sun are really hard on me too, so I understand. Hugs.
Oh, @keana1, I'm so sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time! I know what it feels like to be depressed, I just hope you know you are not alone! ❤️
Yay, for A+ masks! That Milky Glow one sure is purdy! Happy to hear you enjoyed these! 🤗
I know that you also felt depressed before @Shosh85 so I know that I’m not alone , it was a bit too much to handle this time! I hope that you’re better now ! Nobody deserves this but unfortunately it happens! I wish that I could manipulate the weather 🧚🏾♀️ ! 😂
@keana1 I'm sorry you're having such a tough time this winter. You be sure to take the time you need to take care of yourself. Sometimes a good cry is needed, weather you're in the A&P parking lot or at home snuggled under the covers watching 80's movies. Spring is just around the corner and I know you've got this. And even if you're not sure if you do... we're here for you.. anytime you need/want.
Looks like you had some great masks this week! Big hugs girl!
Thanks @missjeanie ! A big hug to you as well 🤗 !
Those masks sound great @keana1! I’m sorry you had such a bad week. I am definitely ready for spring weather too.
Thanks @faeriegirl ! I think we all had enough of winter! 😱
Thanks @lmaster ! I know that you’re also having a difficult time, hang in there my dear friend! I also wish that we could live closer! At least we have the BIC in common! ( and other things as well ) 🤗
@keana1 virtual hug for you 🤗
@keana1 I am so sorry your week was so difficult and dreary. Please keep looking up, and keep hanging around here - I miss ya when you're gone, your absence is noticed!
That Milky mask is so pretty. I have used a few by that brnad (and have a couple I hope to get to this week) and they all have such gorgeous packaging. Glad it was good for your skin, besides just being pretty 😄
I missed you too @eshoe 😢 ! I think that I needed some recuperating from months of lack of sleep ! If you have the Milky Glow Mask, you should enjoy how much it moisturizes your skin. It also has a subtle floral scent that you would like as well!
@keana1 I tried it so long ago I don’t recall details; their packaging (and masks themselves) are always so pretty though!
Hugs to you, @keana1! I hope this week is better for you. I'm glad so many of the masks you were able to use were winners!
Thank you so much @quspork ! At least the masks were A+ !🤗
